Stonewall Orchard Golf Club is pairing up with Light The Lamp Brewery on April 24th to host "Hawk Fan Day," a 18-hole golf scramble with patrons being encouraged to show their true Blackhawks spirit by wearing hats, jerseys, helmets and anything else they have.

"Everyone is invited to stick around after golf and enjoy the Hawks-Edmonton Oilers road game in our restaurant; puck drops at 8:30," said Jeff Pajula, director of golf.

Located in Grayslake on Route 60, Stonewall Orchard has hosted a number of major tournaments including Final State Qualifying for the U.S. Open. The course is on current rotation with legendary private facilities Medinah and Olympia Fields as host site for the Illinois PGA Section Championship.

An Arthur Hills-designed masterpiece, Stonewall Orchard plays through heavily wooded, mature Oak and Pine trees and forces players to bring their “A” games if they want to post a respectable number. The layout features natural, rolling landscapes and features an abundance of tranquil wetlands and wildlife. From the 4,968-yard junior short course to the 7,074-yard championship 18-hole layout, each hole provides its own identity while completely immersing the golfing public into nature.
